Within the workforce, at end-2024, 262,186 staff were employed under permanent job contracts or site contracts, and 22,340 under non-permanent job contracts (work-based training and fixed-term contracts in France). VINCI promotes the integration of young people on work-based training programmes. In 2024, 8,025 young people received training under work-based programmes within the Group. Work-based training programmes are defined as employment contracts that alternate between time spent in the workplace and time in an educational institution (school, university, training centre). The proportion of employees on contracts without guaranteed hours is not significant at Group level.

Alongside its employees, Group companies engage temporary workers (“non-employee workers”) to address the cyclical nature of activities and temporary fluctuations, depending on the circumstances. In 2024, 23,891 temporary staff (full-time equivalent) worked for VINCI, a 4% decrease from 2023.
